Relevant Information:

This species is said to occupy the
same or overlapping geographic areas with C.
crypticus and in some quarters there is
a thought that they are one and the same variable species. There
are variations in colour pattern including small spots and blotches
in certain individuals. Aquarium Care: This is
akin to most of this genus, very peaceful, and would be best housed
with small to medium sized tankmates such as Tetras, Rasboras
and Danios or in a species tank for breeding purposes.
Best to purchase 6 individuals or more as they will be
happier in a group. Diet: Readily accepts a mixed
and varied diet which includes granular foods, tablet food, frozen
bloodworm and good quality flake to name but a few.
